We love seeing how architects incorporate wood look garage doors into their beautiful designs. Scroll on to explore the Tannenbaum Renovation by Racinowski Design Studio, a project recently featured in Mid-Century Home Magazine.
Built in 1958, this Fox Point, Wisconsin home was originally designed by architect Abe Tannenbaum. Tannenbaum was known for his mid-century era designs, defined by simplicity and an integration with nature. After passing through several owners over the next few decades, the home was purchased by architect Justin Racinowski in 2014.

The after photos we see of home renovations typically vary drastically from the befores—sometimes, it’s even hard to believe both photos are of the same house. Racinowski, however, had different intentions for this project: modernize and enhance the home's mid-century elements, without taking away from the original architect’s vision.

Providing the texture and dimension of wood, but the modern convenience of steel construction, Plank garage doors in Cedar Accents proved to be a perfect match for Justin’s vision. Vertically-stacked windows on the garage door establish asymmetry, appealing even more to a retro, mid-century aesthetic.
